Okay, people. Want a suggestion about what VN to play next.

Not played a lot so far:
- Tsukihime
- F/SN
- Ever17
- Umineko Episodes 1-3, waiting for full patch on 4

A friend of mine's already suggested Saya no Uta and CHAOS;HEAD - anything else people feel like recommending?

Moogy · « **Reply #61 on:** May 06, 2009, 08:07:59 PM »

See my post on the previous page. In other words, yes, Saya is a good choice.

Also, if you don't mind the hilariously shitty DVDPG format, definitely play Hourglass of Summer (probably the best straight-up renai game translated into English so far, though I'm still working my way through Suika) and Phantom of Inferno.

You might want to try Narcissu. The first novel has been translated and can be downloaded here.* The link is at the bottom of the page. Note, however, that it is not a dating sim, just a visual novel. It is also worksafe.

*Narcissu is a free visual novel.

What are the Visual Novel that are completely translated? I haven0t played any single one and I want to try them out, but I don't know moon so...

Nub Slayer, I would advise you to read the thread. Your question has already been answered several times.

Ever17 is an amazing visual novel and the only VN where I could see that couldn't be a book or a manga or anime and also proved that the last route can save a game.

Fate/Stay Night is a fighting visual novel that feels like an RPG and a novel at the same time, I really love this one.

Tsukihime is great but since this is an amateur/doujin work in Nasu's time I can understand why some people can't like it until they got away from Arcuied's route and Ciel.

Narcissu is a great Visual novel that made me cry

The later series seems to disappoint me specifically the 3rd one but I have yet to wait for those to be translated in english.

Togainu No Chi is...<3

Higurashi and Umineko no Naku Koro Ni is \m/
Very amazing. The latter one is 10034243241234124x better.

Insani has a lot of them too specially the festival translated ones seem pretty good.

Also Katawa Shoujo. Very good for a non Japanese Amateur group and actually very likeable.

Saya No Uta, a short visual novel and direct to the point with only 3 choices in the whole game and damn that game almost made me cry ;_;

The Noose is also pretty good from dejavu. It's not as highly graphical and more of a kinetic novel but it works great.

Uh, I am pretty sure it's alright as long as it's not posted in public (like right here)... Brb tos.

shinyjam · « **Reply #72 on:** May 10, 2009, 02:30:44 AM »

Although you definably will get a better experience playing it yourself.

Nothing that says not to, bring on the pm!

Are there any good dating sims that anyone has played and would like to reccomend?

Would like to agree with you but the topic title is Visual novel/Dating sims.

Alright visual novels.

(dating sim sounds like one of those flash games you play online and click click to take off clothes towards the end.)

I'll be damned if they call Air a dating sim.

Seriously tho, I saw they imported the Uesugi Kenshin (Rance) figurine in today, and I decide to buy it, now I am down by 200 dollars till the next month pay.

So don't blame me, I shall ask eagerly for the full translation. quickly, whilst my fire still burns rapidly.

FinnKaenbyou · « **Reply #80 on:** May 12, 2009, 06:32:27 PM »

Okay, I finished Saya no Uta.

Spoiler:

A pretty interesting story, if not the most pleasant one. Who you find yourself cheering on is probably open to interpretation, but I've made my opinions known.

EDIT: Just started Narcissu. I'm only one chapter in, and already I can tell this game will probably make me cry.

Some of the story had so much depth, they re-released with a Clean version just so everyone else can play it. Then spawn anime, spin off, sequel, figures, and so on.

The story is so good, many feel the porn is a turn off.

Moogy · « **Reply #83 on:** May 13, 2009, 02:26:29 AM »

Because dating sims are a distinct genre from visual novels and the two shouldn't be confused. Dating sims are games like Tokimeki Memorial, where the actual dating is a gameplay system and there are statistics for each girl and the protagonist and such. Visual novels are, well, simply visual novels. Also note that dating sims typically don't actually have storylines.

Not me. I like to think of it as an added bonus, good story or not.

Seems like a valid point to make.

And seconding the Narcissu hype.

Moogy · « **Reply #88 on:** May 13, 2009, 07:28:26 PM »

Goo, the writer of Himawari, is one of the writers for Narc3 :]

Not that Narc2 and Narc3 will ever get translated.

Oh, hey guys. Enzai is a-okay.
A tad muscular for my tastes, but it's still lovely.
